Cookie Policy
This cookie policy explains the small text files that KheloStar stores in your browser, what each one does, and how you can control or delete them. KheloStar uses cookies sparingly — only the ones that keep the platform working or make it more useful to you.
Types of Cookies KheloStar Uses
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. Disabling them will break core features like login and bet placement. Examples: session token cookie, CSRF protection token.
Preference Cookies
These remember your settings — language, timezone, layout — so you don't have to reconfigure every visit. Optional but strongly recommended.
Security Cookies
These help detect suspicious login patterns and prevent account takeover. Examples: device-fingerprint identifier, unusual-login flag.

What KheloStar Does Not Use
To be explicit about what we don't run:
- No Google Analytics or similar analytics cookies — we don't currently run third-party analytics.
- No third-party advertising cookies — we don't advertise on KheloStar.
- No Facebook pixel or Meta tracking — we don't have social remarketing.
- No cross-site profiling — we do not follow you around the web.
- No location tracking cookies — we may see your IP for security, but we don't store fine-grained location.
This is a deliberate choice. Betting is a sensitive category and we treat player privacy accordingly.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Every modern browser lets you view, control, or delete cookies. The specific menu varies:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data.
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
- Android WebView / Chrome mobile: Same menu as Chrome desktop, under Settings.
- iOS Safari: Settings app → Safari → Clear History and Website Data.
You can block all cookies, only third-party ones, or delete existing ones. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break KheloStar login.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling different cookie categories has different consequences:
- Necessary cookies blocked: Cannot log in, cannot place bets. Site becomes unusable.
- Preference cookies blocked: Language, timezone, layout reset every visit.
- Security cookies blocked: More frequent captcha prompts, more sensitive fraud detection.
For most players, the sensible approach is to accept all KheloStar first-party cookies. If you have specific privacy requirements, block preference and security cookies while keeping necessary ones enabled.
